Academic Fee Waivers

Natural Bridges collects a park entrance fee, but education groups may apply for an academic fee waiver. Fee waivers do not affect campground fees.

Travel By Bus

Natural Bridges has no shuttle system and is not served by public transit. Large vehicles like school buses or rental coaches can drive the entire 9-mile scenic road.

Ranger Programs

Guided walks, overlook talks, patio talks and astronomy programs are given throughout the week (spring through fall), and visiting school groups may join any of these programs. Check the visitor center or bulletin boards for current schedules, as times and topics vary. Private guided walks or talks can also be arranged for larger groups; please contact the park well in advance.

Hiking

Non-commercial educational groups may hike together on all park trails. It is recommended that groups larger than 20 people split into smaller groups out of respect for other hikers.

Camping

A small campground near the visitor center is open year-round on a first-come/first-served basis. Campsites cost $16 per night, and entrance fee waivers do not affect camping fees. Sites can accommodate up to eight people and one vehicle.
